Hello m0n0wall community,

I'm trying to give general web browsing priority over all other traffic in hopes of maintaining
decent web surfing performance while the downstream is saturated by a large download.  I've tried to
accomplish this by giving DNS queries and replies, outbound SYNs, and inbound and outbound ACKs
priority over all other traffic.  However, there doesn't seem to be any improvement over when
traffic shaping is disabled altogether.  Here's my traffic shaper config:

Thanks in advance for any help....
